Yunding Ranch

Chapter 60 Taigong Fishing
Nick put all the fish fry in the truck into it, [-] fish fry sounded like a lot, but the whole lake was not small, and it all disappeared in a blink of an eye, as if a stream merged into the sea. No fish could be caught.

"Did I buy too little?" Lu Li began to scratch his head. He was an amateur when it came to raising fish in lakes, and so were Cole and the others. Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

The lake looks a bit small from a distance, but in fact this is just an illusion. The entire lake is located in the middle of the Yunding Ranch and the Marshall Valley Ranch, with a total area of ​​more than 5000 square meters. It is wider than the stables.If you go boating on this, it is estimated that it will be difficult to reach the other side in less than four or 10 minutes.

Lu Li originally thought that [-] fry would be enough, but now he is not so sure.

In the end, Nick smiled and said, "No, it's almost there. Some of these fry will swim to the upper reaches of the stream, and some will lay eggs and give birth. After they grow up, they will be caught in an appropriate amount, and then an ecological cycle will be formed. Problem."

Everyone involuntarily turned their attention to the lake in front of them again. From light blue to dark blue to emerald green, the lake starts from the shore, and the color becomes darker as it goes to the center of the lake. The gradient color is really too much. Magical; the clear lake water can see the dead branches and pebbles at the bottom of the water, and even the trunks of two huge sycamore trees, lying quietly under the water surface, as if it was another mysterious world; the calm water surface It was so peaceful that even the ripples could not be seen. The golden sunlight fell quietly, flowing slowly like a trickle, and the interlacing of light and shadow made all the noise disappear.

"Moo", the call of the cows came from the far end, but it did not break the tranquility, but became more and more quiet. lazy.

"Wow." Cole couldn't help sighing softly. He had been on the ranch for so many years, but he had never really felt the charm of this lake.They always liked forests and horsebacks more than lake water, but today, he has further excavated the unique beauty of this land.

"Is anyone going to try fishing?" Lu Li asked with his hands behind his back, looking around with an eager expression on his face.Then, in unison, everyone raised their right hands, even Nick who was standing next to him had an expectant expression on his face, "Nick, if you don't rush back, you can stay."

Although there are fishing services in Philip's fishing grounds, they are all in captive fish ponds, which are completely different from lakes.It seems that many people are particularly obsessed with sea fishing, because waves and undercurrents are the true meaning of nature.

Nick looked at the calm lake in front of him with nostalgia, and finally shook his head, "No, I still have to go back to help. Next time, if there is a chance next time, I will make a special trip here for vacation."

Hearing this, Lu Li rolled his eyes, "Welcome. After the ranch is fully constructed, you are not only welcome to come for vacation, but you are also welcome to bring your friends here for vacation."

Nick could hear the deep meaning in Lu Li's voice, "Why, we're going to build a resort here in the future?"

"It's not a resort, it's just a place for leisure and entertainment. I don't plan to post a lot of advertisements, just like pulling pigs, and attract tourists here one by one." Lu Li said with a smile, "However, there are still A lot of work to do. Among other things, all the animal work isn't done yet."

Nick couldn't help being amused, and nodded, "It's absolutely fine. Even if you don't invite me, I will take the initiative to come over." Nick turned his head and looked at the surrounding scenery, "Honestly speaking, this ranch doesn't feel like any other ranch in Texas. Too much the same."

"Because I'm Chinese?" The definition of an American's ranch is always inseparable from the word "Western", which is rough and heroic, and even has some rural flavor; but Lu Li has a special interest in beautiful mountains and rivers, such as lakes, For example, the forest, he is willing to spend time on the planning of these details, which injects some delicate and delicate things into the ranch.

Nick shrugged, "You mean now? No, you can't see Chinese elements yet."

After the vineyards are planted, Lu Li plans to plant a bamboo forest by the lake, and if he builds a wooden house, it will truly be "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely". "Don't worry, you will see it." Lu Li said confidently.

After seeing Nick off, Lu Li, Cole and the others all returned to the lake, even Brandon, who seemed cold and cold, was no exception.Fortunately, when Lu Li was shopping for fishing equipment, he bought twenty pieces at once, which showed the demeanor of a nouveau riche, but today he managed to avoid the dilemma of not having any equipment.

"Fourteen, do you like fishing?" Randy couldn't stop talking at all, before he even took out the fishing gear, he started talking, "I've never fished before, this is the first time, It feels so fresh."

Brandon stood up straight, glanced at Randy, then silently packed his fishing gear, and walked towards the other side of the lake.Seeing this situation, Randy couldn't help but waved his hands, "Brandon, Brandon, why did you leave? It's not good that you don't fit in like this."

"People despise you." Jessica stood beside him and complained calmly. Randy looked blank, as if he didn't understand why Brandon despised him at all.

Lu Li couldn't help but smile, "It's better to spread out. Otherwise, if everyone gathers together, the fish won't be caught."

Randy suddenly realized, "That's true!" He stood still and thought for a while, then packed up his fishing gear, and quickly caught up with Brandon, "Hey, Brandon, wait for me, you and I Together."

"Bet, Brandon will move another position." Jessica said with a smile all over her face.

Lu Li shrugged, "I bet Randy will continue to follow."

Jessica thought for a while and admitted defeat, "So, what's the matter with fishing? Is there any particularity about this line and pole?"

"Uh..." Lu Li pondered for a moment, "This is actually my first time fishing."

Jessica rolled her eyes, expressing her contempt; Cole was dumbfounded, and said in surprise, "I saw you were so active in preparing fish fry, I thought..." I thought Lu Li was a good fisherman.

Lu Li spread his hands to express his innocence, "I just thought it was a good idea, but I didn't say it was my specialty." Lu Li's specialty is... journalism, not being close to nature. "However, the fishing technique itself is not difficult, and we are not sea fishing, so there is no harm in giving beginners a try. The last time I went to Dallas, Philip taught me some basic techniques, if you don't mind , I can guide you."

Jessica picked up her fishing gear with a look of disgust, "I'll go to the side."

Lu Li's eyes fell on Cole again. Cole raised the fishing gear in his hand, showing his white teeth, "I'm ready."

Lu Li could only touch his nose, lowered his head and began to prepare his fishing gear.

Although it is said that the fish fry have just been released, there are actually fish in the lake, and according to Cole, neither Liz nor Jack has a hobby of fishing, and the same is true for the Marshall Valley Ranch on the other side, so the fish in the lake The fish should be extremely fat, and now is the right time to fish.

The five people were scattered in different places and sat down quietly—to be precise, the four people were very quiet.Bucky was still in high spirits at first, he kept circling around Lu Li's feet, reaching out to the edge of the lake from time to time to explore, but he didn't dare to touch the water, then returned to Lu Li's feet depressed, and waited for a while. Yes, go out to try again unwillingly, and so on and so forth, finally seems to be tired, lying at Lu Li's feet to bask in the sun.

The sound of pattering footsteps was very clear by the quiet lake. When he turned his head, Lu Li saw Teddy's golden hair and trotted over with his tongue sticking out.Lu Li raised his left hand, and Teddy slipped into his arms, staring at Lu Li's chest with his head, acting coquettishly.

Cole, who was sitting not far away, chuckled and shouted, "Teddy, come here."

Teddy looked up at Cole, left Lu Li's embrace, and ran two steps forward, but before getting close to Cole, he circled back and lingered behind Lu Li.

Cole muttered depressingly, "You little guy, you are ungrateful. You must be like this because of the smell of fried dough sticks on Fourteen's body, isn't it? Isn't it?" For some reason, Teddy likes Lu Li very much. It hasn't been long here, and Teddy has already regarded Lu Li as his master, and Cole is completely out of date.

Lu Li raised his right hand and rubbed Teddy's head vigorously, "Good guy, good guy." Then he noticed that there was something white in Teddy's mouth. He looked down and saw that it was paper scraps. I couldn't help but sighed softly, "Be honest, have you gnawed on my information again?"

As a result, Teddy yelled twice, trying to defend himself, but Lu Li knew that this was a sign of Teddy's admission.Teddy especially likes to bite paper, and it's not ordinary paper, especially those contracts or design drawings, which are Teddy's favorite.

Not too long ago, the contract to buy the herd was completely chewed up.

"So, what did you bite again today?" Lu Li recalled carefully, but he didn't remember any information left in the hall.

Teddy avoided Lu Li's question, walked towards Bucky with his head down, "Hey, little guy, answer my question!" Lu Li's shout did not get Teddy's response, he just lowered his head and sniffed at Bucky. He sniffed Bucky, then arched lightly.

Bucky, who was sleeping, was woken up. He opened his eyes, glanced at Teddy, and then closed them again.But Teddy was obviously unwilling to give up easily, and arched again. This time Bucky got impatient, stood up directly, glanced at Teddy with contempt, and then walked away slowly with haughty steps. Just left...

Teddy hesitated, looked at Bucky, then at Lu Li, as if he didn't know whether he should go after him or not.
